Sarah Palin's interview technique revealed! She is actually speaking in free verse:
"Challenge to a Cynic"
You are a cynic.
Because show me where
I have ever said
That there's absolute proof
That nothing that man
Has ever conducted
Or engaged in,
Has had any effect,
Or no effect,
On climate change.
"Small Mayors"
You know,
Small mayors,
Mayors of small towns—
Quote, unquote—
They're on the front lines.

John Crace, my favorite book digester for the Guardian UK, knocks out some banned books for you to round out banned books week:

He alone was the ruler of Magic Land. "Did they really think I was going to stop there?" he cackled manically. "Now to take on the Muggles and that Pussy Jesus."
From Ulysses:
[Molly] wonders if she knocks this all out in a long unreadable stream of consciousness with no discernible punctuation she'll be able to sneak the dirty bits past the US censors as they'll probably have found something better to do by now. No.

LOL Thanks for that. It was really getting uncomfortable for me to watch her interviews and I don't even like her. It's like a train wreck. You know it's going to be awful and hard to bear but you have to look.
LOL...well now her answers to the debate questions make perfect sense. It's not lack of knowledge, just artistic licsense. lol...geez.
Love the Ulysses "quote". I was quite disappointed to find that these days they sell it with punctuation.
